nVent RAYCHEM TraceTek TT-FLASHER-BE is an inexpensive, battery-powered device that emits an easy-to-see flashing light signal whenever the TraceTek sensor cable or probe detects liquid. Because the device is completely self-contained and requires no external connections, installation is simple and inexpensive.

A failure of the sanitary system, sewage system, a leak in a hot or cold water pipe or central heating system can completely destroy industrial facilities, server rooms or other business-critical facilities. That is why the nVent RAYCHEM TraceTek water leak detection system, which is based on sensor wires, is increasingly being used in such places. How do sensor wires work and why are they so effective in detecting water leaks?

TraceTek TT5000 is a fuel detection sensor cable that can detect and locate leaks of gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, petroleum and similar hydrocarbon liquids. It will not detect or respond to water.

Water leak detection systems are becoming increasingly popular, as they noticeably minimize the damage and costs caused by the failure of sanitary or air conditioning systems. It is worth noting that in such systems there is a twofold way of detecting such leaks - through sensor wires, as well as using point sensors.

A potential fuel spill is not only a potential source of loss for the company, but more importantly a serious threat to the environment. A large stain of flammable gasoline can also be dangerous for employees. To avoid such a potential problem, it is worthwhile to protect all tanks, pipelines and other important points (such as valves) with a leak detection system.

Leaking chemicals pose a major threat to the environment, people, as well as buildings and equipment in the vicinity. For this reason, it is important to quickly alert to the occurrence of leaks.

We have fabricated stainless steel drip trays that have been mounted under the ceiling in critical areas where water can enter from a leaking ceiling. The drip trays were equipped with TraceTek TT1000 wired sensors that detect water along their entire length.

The nVent RAYCHEM TraceTek TT5000 sensor cable installed at the bottom of a concrete channel containing pipelines distributing diesel fuel from an external aboveground storage tank. This provides early warning of a small fuel leak before it becomes an environmental or safety hazard.
